A spokesperson from Glasgow City Council said: "The gathering clearly caused disruption to residents, local businesses and the roads network.
"We are also concerned about the anti-social behaviour and risk to public safety associated with the gathering.
"We will be engaging with our partners in Saturday’s operation on how the issues that arose during the gathering can be addressed in future."
The council also confirmed that a number of public properties including traffic signals were damaged during the celebrations.
The local authority said that the damage has since been repaired and streets that were left with a build-up of waste have been restored.
A spokesperson added: "Our staff were on hand to move in and begin a clear-up operation once crowds began to disperse on Saturday evening.
"Staff worked through the night to deal with the build-up of waste and a continued effort was required on Sunday morning to restore the area to a good condition.
"Roads closed at short notice for safety reasons were reopened on Sunday morning and traffic signals damaged during the gathering were also repaired.
"A full assessment of the impact of the unofficial event will be undertaken."
Speaking on Saturday's events, Superintendent Gerry Corrigan, Greater Glasgow Division, said: "Three people were seriously assaulted in three separate incidents during the event. A 31-year-old man remains in serious condition at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after being attacked.
"Two other men, aged 33 and 19, were treated at the hospital after being assaulted and have since been discharged.
"There were 10 arrests for a number of other offences including assault, acts of public disorder and police assault following the event. No police officers were injured.
"A further eight people were issued with fixed penalty notices.
"Eighteen people sustained minor injuries, mainly due to intoxication.
"Enquiries into all reported incidents are ongoing."
